The Importance of Being Earnest

Show & Culture

The American Drama Group Europe presents Oscar Wilde's play in a unique way, succeeding with much comedy and humour in remaining true to the spirit of the original. Accompanied by lively live music, the performance provides a vivid and contemporary stage experience. The plot follows Jack Worthing and Algernon, two friends who invent excuses to escape their respective social lives, until their romantic entanglements complicate matters. Gwendolyn's tyrannical mother, Lady Bracknell, adds further hurdles in this witty comedy of manners that cleverly exposes truths about Victorian society. The play is performed in English.
